“Username already exists” when relogin for second time

    I install v1.2.0 yesterday and enable user creation.

    When new user login for the first time, new account is created successfully.

    However, after logout, the user cannot login again and got the error message “Username already exists”

    Do you have any recommendations on how to fix this issue.

    That typically means that the ethpress database table wasn’t created.

    The way it works is

    1. Log in, create wordpress account, make row in ethpress table to link the wp account to the eth address
    2. Next time you log in, it looks from the ethpress table for the row for the eth address
    3. …and if it doesn’t exist, then create a new wp account
    4. …but if it does exist, then log that user in
    5. So if there’s nothing in the ethpress table, and the wp username is already taken, then it throws the error so that you don’t end up logging in as someone else (someone with your eth address as their name)
